The Bushmills Rum Cask Reserve is a special Irish single malt whiskey that is part of the Bushmills Steamship Collection, which honors the historic voyage of the SS Bushmills in 1890. The whiskey is inspired by the ship's journey, which included a stop in St. Vincent in the Caribbean to stock up on rum casks. The whiskey is matured in first-fill Caribbean rum casks, which impart rich, exotic flavors into the famously smooth and honeyed flavor profile of Bushmills. This creates a decadent, perfectly balanced whiskey with residual rum flavors. The Rum Cask Reserve was originally released for the Travel Retail market and is a rare release with an ABV of 40% and a volume of 700ml. To celebrate the 125th anniversary of the SS Bushmills, Bushmills Distillery introduced a number of different barrel maturations, with the 4th edition matured in rum barrels. It showcases a delightful nose of brown sugar, vanilla, and ripe fruits. Its taste is creamy and soft, with notes of rum, sweet caramel, tropical fruits, raisins, and cane sugar, complemented by spicy oak notes in the background. The finish is long and soft with fruity notes, making it a truly special release from the renowned Bushmills brand.

As a whiskey enthusiast, I was highly anticipating the Bushmills Rum Cask Reserve, especially given the fantastic reputation of their 10-year-old rum cask finish. This release did not disappoint. The Steamship Collection, matured entirely in rum casks, delivers fantastic traces of rum, fruit, and sweetness with exotic touches. It may not be quite the same as the older version, but it's a worthy successor and holds its own with a well-deserved place in the high-quality offerings from Bushmills. The 40% ABV is perfect, ensuring the whiskey remains smooth and balanced.
